Mentoring Cape and Islands Youth

Research into youth mentoring programs has shown that these programs have a positive impact on kids. But some parents are reluctant to enroll their children for fear of stigmatization or because of concerns about safety. Sean Corcoran talks with a parent who enrolled her child in Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod and we hear about two new site based mentoring programs. Our guests on The Point are Hadley Luddy, executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod and the Islands, andCammie Keane, a parent who shares her experience with BBBS.
